Made it Tineo last evening, about 30 km. I have two choices today-stay In Borres tonight, with a short, 15km day, then take the “Hospitales” route, which is much prettier, much higher altitude, and almost totally without services. If the weather is poor or it’s cloudy I won’t be able to see anything and it will be for naught. The second option is to continue on the more southern route and have a much longer day today, but without the potential incredible Vistas. To continue all the way through onto the Hospitales route without sleeping in Borres tonight would mean at least 44 km, through the hardest terrain yet. My Russian friend Andre was making noise about doing that and hitting Santiago in 7 days-a bit aggressive for my tastes. (at La Pereda ,Tineo)
